Just don't drop one of them! Not a firesteel, but I've broken hardened steel by dropping it.
Maybe I'm just the cautious one, heh.
Files are THE steel for firesteels (old carbon-steel), but with careful hardening, you can get spring steel to work too.
Flat springs (from a Skoda) is great for knives, but too soft for strikers.
Coil rear springs (Opel/Vauxhall) work neat for both applications.
Checked your job... Nice!
